SUMMARY:Arts Ob We People: Gullah Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Join us in collaboration with the Native Island and Business Community Affairs Association at Art League Gallery\, as we celebrate the magnificent artwork of the esteemed Alvin B. Glen. Immerse yourself in his exquisite art and thoughtfulness as this year’s celebrated artist. Indulge in a museum-wide takeover\, and basks in the brilliance of Glenn’s creations. \nGrowing up in the small town of Dorchester\, South Carolina\, during the era of Jim Crow laws\, Alvin’s artistic journey faced many challenges. Despite the lack of visual arts classes in his public school\, Alvin’s parents arranged for him to take correspondence art courses in middle school. These early experiences ignited his passion for music\, which carried him through to college. \nIn 1979\, he proudly earned my Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from South Carolina State College\, with a strong focus on education. This laid the foundation for his career as a dedicated art teacher in the Orangeburg County Schools\, where he served for an impressive forty-three years before retiring. Through his artwork\, Alvin strives to capture the strength\, dedication\, and interconnectedness of the people who inspire him. Spirituality\, compassion\, and empathy flow through every brushstroke\, creating images that resonate with viewers. After a brief period living in Orangeburg\, he returned to his hometown of Dorchester in 1985. Over the years\, he has had the honor of showcasing his work at various galleries throughout South Carolina\, as well as briefly in North Carolina and Georgia. Some notable galleries include The Dr. N. Lee Morris Gallery\, Waterfront Gallery\, I.P. Stanback Museum\, Penn Center\, and The Columbia Museum of Art. His recognitions include winning first place at the Charleston Artist Guild Exhibit\, Featured Artist for The Moja Arts Festival and Best in Show award at the Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibit. Today\, Alvin resides in beloved Dorchester\, South Carolina\, enjoying the serenity of retirement after dedicating my life to teaching visual art in the public school system. \nOPEN: Monday-Saturday 10am-4pm\, Sunday 12-4pm + 90 minutes before all Arts Center performances. Telephone: (843) 681-5060 \n

SUMMARY:Binya: Faces ob de Gullah Geechee - Coastal Discovery Museum – Main Gallery
DESCRIPTION:*Please visit https://www.coastaldiscovery.org/ for more events and information \nEVENTS: \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, March 9 from 5-7pm \nCurator’s Tours: Tuesday\, March 21 at 1pm and Saturday\, May 6 at 1pm \nCollage Night with Nancey B. Price: Thursday\, April 27 at 5:30pm \nThe Coastal Discovery Museum is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition Binya: Faces ob de Gullah Geechee\, opening March 4\, 2023. Featuring over 30 portraits and related objects from the 1960s to the present\, the exhibition will delve into varied stories of individuals from across the Gullah Geechee corridor. While the Gullah Geechee community has faced many hardships\, it remains one of the oldest cultural groups still thriving as a “nation within a nation.” The diversity of the images presented embodies the diversity of those who have called this place home for centuries. \n  \nAs co-curator Angela Dore notes\, “Many of us identify with the culture in terms of the sense of place that we have from our family roots being here and being raised within the corridor\, many of us remain actively engaged with the cultural practices\, and others identify with the culture because of their lineage. For example\, their parents or grandparents may have grown up within the corridor and passed the dialect\, spiritual beliefs\, and foodways down to them. We still cook like our grandmothers did. We remember the stories\, values\, and lessons that our elders taught us\, and we teach those things to our children.” \nRecent acquisitions and commissions for the collection at the Coastal Discovery Museum will be featured along with numerous loans from regional artists and collectors. Elizabeth Greenberg\, the museum’s Director of Exhibitions\, notes\, “At its core\, a portrait is meant to capture not just the physical appearance\, but the identity and personality of a subject. The medium has traditionally been used as a way to honor those we value\, while providing a visual remembrance for present and future generations. As we delved into this subject\, we were excited to discover the range of portraits that existed. And we were particularly thrilled to commission Natalie Daise to paint Dr. Emory Campbell and Anthony Johnson to draw Ms. Louise Cohen\, as well as acquiring Curtis Phillips’ portraits of Joe Legree and Alex Brown.” These new acquisitions will be unveiled alongside work by Sam Doyle\, Jonathan Green\, Walter Greer\, Charles Edward Williams\, Doug Corkern\, Nancey B. Price\, Lisa Rivers\, and Amiri Farris\, among others. \n  \nThe exhibition is curated by Elizabeth Greenberg\, Director of Exhibitions at the Coastal Discovery Museum and Angela Dore\, Research Coordinator for the Wilson Center for Humanities and Arts at the University of Georgia. \nCoastal Discovery Museum                           Gallery hours: Monday – Saturday 9am-4:30pm \n70 Honey Horn Drive                                                              Sunday from 11am – 3pm. \nHilton Head Island\, SC 29926                          Free and open to the public. \n(843) 689-6767 \nwww.coastaldiscovery.org
